What customers don't like about REDMAGIC Astra 2

Verdict

Speed sets the REDMAGIC Astra 2 apart, with a fast screen and 16 GB of RAM. The 9.06-inch OLED screen is sharp at 313 ppi. Its 185 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and motion very smooth, and adaptive refresh adjusts it as needed. The 512 GB of storage gives plenty of room for heavy apps and large files. The 8300 mAh battery is large, and fast charging helps you top up quickly. The trade-off is that there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no memory card slot, so the 512 GB cannot be expanded. The main 13 MP camera can record 2160p video, and manual shutter speed gives more exposure control. It suits someone who wants a fast, sharp screen and can live without a headphone jack or card slot.
